Got an injection of inspiration from communications colleagues from across the @UN system based in Cairo. They generate so much support for our work helping refugees and communities and fostering development.
With @UNEgypt @UNICCairo
Sudan's hunger crisis has reached famine levels in parts of Darfur & Kordofan.
Families are trapped, surviving on leaves, animal feed & grass.
@UNOCHA urges safe passage for delivery of food & critical aid supplies.
The people of Sudan need peace now.

Hate & lies cause harm to our world — fueling conflict, threatening human rights & undermining public health & #ClimateAction.
There are ways each of us can help stop the spread online.
Pause, and take care before you share!
There is a power in female storytellers.
On Monday I was joined by @donsoseme one of the photographers featured in the Through Her Lens Women Rising for Peace exhibit at the UN.
She is using her lens to bring attention to the unseen stories of women.

I'm gravely concerned as Hurricane Melissa unleashes widespread devastation across the Caribbean.
I stand in solidarity with the Governments & people affected & convey my heartfelt condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives.
The @UN working is hand in hand with authorities & humanitarian partners across the region to assist those impacted & prepare in areas that may yet face the storm’s impact.
The scenes coming out of Sudan are horrific as fighting intensifies. Children & families are trapped. Hospitals are under attack.
Two out of every three people need humanitarian aid.
We need an end to the violence & unhindered access to provide support.

As we celebrate #UNDay & our 80th anniversary, let us reaffirm our commitment to one of the most ambitious undertakings in human history:
The decision - despite our differences - to solve problems together.
To work sincerely, creatively & humbly.
For a better future for all.

For 80 years, the @UN has worked to forge peace, tackle poverty & hunger, advance human rights & build a more sustainable world,.
Now, more than ever, the world must recommit to solving problems no nation can solve alone.
On this #UNDay, let’s stand together & act as one.
Greater access through all crossing points is needed to contain the spread of famine.

Daily deliveries of aid continue to enter Gaza as the fragile ceasefire holds.
So far, @WFP delivered 6,700 tons of food, enough for half a million people for 2 weeks.
But the current daily delivery of 750 tonnes is still below the target of 2,000 tonnes, stresses @AbeerEtefa.
The court called on Israel to also “respect and protect” all aid workers, medical personnel and facilities.
.@CIJ_ICJ delivered an Advisory Opinion concluding Israel is required to:
"ensure that the population of the OPT has the essential supplies of daily life, including food, water, clothing, bedding, shelter, fuel, medical supplies and services.”

I’m in Gaza, supporting our teams as they deliver our 60 day plan to massively scale up lifesaving work.
The challenges ahead are immense, but we are determined to deliver on the humanitarian possibilities created by President Trump’s peace deal.

The Secretary-General is gravely concerned by the continued public accusations made by the Houthis, including on 16 October by their leadership, against @UN personnel in Yemen. He categorically rejects all such accusations.
